I have made it to Toronto! I left this morning around 8:30 and arrived at about 3:30, and I am so glad I didn't travel yesterday: almost all of my route was snow-covered, and it was clear folks in western New York were still shoveling out from yesterday's snowfall. I am pretty sure some places got a foot or more, judging by the mounds I glimpsed on top of resting cars. The area right around Buffalo was a little hairy -- it was like driving into a wall of grey, one minute the roads were dry and the sky was bright, and the next everything was snow-covered and traffic was crawling. Fortunately it only lasted for a few miles north of the border, whew.
Now it is snowing again: almost three inches have fallen just since about 7pm, but since I don't have to drive in it, I don't care. Look, it's pretty!!
Shortly after I arrived, I joined Peter and Esther in attending a fundraising dinner for a church downtown. It was fun, and the food was delicious, but shortly into the main course I found myself fading a bit. I am really very tired! So I haven't had the chance to really feel how it feels to be back, if that makes sense, but mostly at this point it feels good. Things are a little different, but it's still the same house I lived in for over two years.
Now, though, it really is time to sleep.
weather: always exciting,
on the road again,
letting you know i'm alive
